    Hey Cowboy - we are not dwindling... I will still post here as my main thread also. I love you guys.

    Just been a busy time. Spring break, and I have started my practicum for my course, as well as working full time. I am not sure how I am surviving - but the end is in sight.

    I am AF and never would have been able to do this (properly) if not. Today is 90 days - whoot whoot. I had to look at the NN day count and saw Elvis had congratulated me. Funny...I just feel like it has always been this way now. I am still very aware though and do focus on the changes and have plans and strategies in place. Seems every day there is some AL being thrown in our faces. Magazines, TV, friends, comments at work. Maybe I am just more aware? But I do feel strong,

    Like you Cowboy, I FEEL this is it. It is different. Last time I "quit" it was just to lose weight before a trip - where I promptly drank it all back in 2 weeks’ time. This time I have stopped for a completely different reason. I want to be healthy. I want to set an example for my son. I wanted to feel alive again - and I do!

    Thanks for being here for me as I have gone through my first (and last) 90 days. You guys have been my support, advice column and friends!

    I hope I can repay to each of you the strength and support you have given me. :thanks:

        Morning all, popping in this morning to take on my cheerleading roll again and say



        Beachgirly on your 3 month milestone!
        Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
        Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
        Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

          BG, congratulations on 90 days. You are certainly an inspiration to me. You have so much going on. What course are you taking? I am sure your son is very proud of you. I agree with al everywhere, as I sit here typing there is a dishwasher commerical on tv and they are using a wine glass, seriously? It's everywhere.
          Good morning Ginger. Glad mom is doing so well
          Cowboy, our fabulous cheerleader, how are you today? Not in the mood for the cheer outfit, I guess.
          Windy outside today, so sadly I will have to run on the treadmill. Feeling strong today, but I will be cautious. Have a good Thursday, I will check in later.

                          GMAE all. Congrats on your 90 days BG!

                          Most people I know who are retired tell me the same thing Ginge - they're busier now than when they were working! Those golden years . . .

                          Feel for you there Chief. My day off and I'm sitting here on a conference call. Go figure.

                          Just a quick check in before I head off on retreat. Never thought I'd be volunteering to wake up at 5 am on the weekend! :0) Happy AF weekend all!

                            Gee Pauly, I'm so sorry! I was posting here and on the steppers forum trying to be supportive. I do care about you and I am glad you are doing better, well outside of the allergies.

                              Oh Liz, I know you were concerned, a lot of folks asked where I was, I just wanted to say thanks to those 3 just so they know their efforts weren't for nothing, I appreciate ALL my friends on MWO, did the flooring get put in?

                                Hey Pauly, I always ask about you. I go away
                                For pretty long stretches of time because I worl and travel so much, and nobody notices or asks and that's ok...they know I am busy.
